Vintage Inspiration # 107 Sophia's Decor

There are so many of us that think of Fall as our favorite season. I think it may be that we love our homes, decorating, and the idea of the warmth and comfort that the cooler seasons bring. We love Spring and Summer, but there's something about Fall that causes us to hunt and gather and then give our homes those special touches of nature that we only find at Harvest Time. Kristen from Sophia's has one of those blogs that is a constant source of inspiration to me. She has such an amazing sense of style, and it translates into each and every creative project she comes up with. This photo is quintessentially Fall in my book.

Kristen recently found this wonderful old planter box,

and gave it an update with some paint and her personalized touch,

the "Friends and Family" hand painted on the side.

Kristen knows her way around a great paint project. She has just the right balance of color and distressing, taking vintage pieces and updating them with a modern trendy vibe.

If you haven't met Kristen from Sophia's Decor, then you'll want to go visit, and then be prepared to spend time going back through her blog for all the inspiration that this talented gal can whip up. Thanks so much Kristen, for being such a sweet gal and one of my DIY inspirations!!

Seriously, you all are over the top fabulous. There's so much inspiration out here! Thanks so much for taking the time to come over here and party each week! You can link up to three posts, hopefully some will be Fall related so we can share all the Fall Fun. Please have a link back to Common Ground within your post to be featured.

Oh my gosh Debra, I love it ALL!... I am going to make me one of those Autumn shadowboxes for sure with some of my treasures from the trail... love it!... Fall is the BEST time of all... joined in today with a cute vintage muffin tin with pumpkins centerpiece I made... hope you are having a gorgeous Autumn day... thanks for hosting!... xoxo Julie Marie

I linked up but realized nothing is vintage inspired in my post. If it is not appropriate, please let me know and will delete my link.I bookmarked Kristen's site so can go back and visit around when have a bit more time.Thanks for hosting again this week.

Thank you so much Debra, for featuring my rusty ole tacklebox on the mantle. I think my Dad will just shake his head. :) There is so much great inspiration here... loving those gorgeous fall shadowboxes. I may just have to go on a big girl's treasure hunt for seed pods. Thanks for hosting! :)

Debra, once again I am oooing and ahhhing at the photographs you share of some very talented bloggers! Heading over to check out those projects, and yes, that desk is just amazing. If I ever find something like that, I am keeping that for myself! Happy weekend. -K

Whoa, i'm inspired up one side, and down the other... ! What a bunch of charming and cute ideas. The shadow boxes, oh my, the monogram on burlap, the color on that dresser with the white handles... oh my head is too full of ideas now!
